There are no new releases today that fall under our coverage but a few titles launched over the weekend, as well as a new update for Shovel Knight, that are worth talking about. First up is a 2D puzzle-platformer called Seasons after Fall from Swing Swing Submarine. Players take control of a wild fox as the fox begins a journey to meet the four Guardians of the world; however, this is no ordinary fox. This fox has the ability to change the season at will which causes drastic changes to the environment and makes for fascinating puzzle opportunities in the world. The game showcases hand-painted graphics and original music performed by a string quartet, all of which change based on the season. Seasons after Fall can be purchased here for $19.99.
